Food Distribution Programmatic Underwriting

Mobile Pantry & Food Fair Underwriting

The San Antonio Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry program distributes approximately 10,000 pounds of food to 200 families in a 3-hour window. Using refurbished beverage trucks with different compartments that can be refrigerated allows the Food Bank to distribute nutritious food to a large number of families in a short time. The Food Bank’s Food Fair program is similar to the Mobile Pantry program , but on a much larger scale. In one day, Food Fairs distribute 20,000 pounds of food to 200 families. Underwrite a Mobile Pantry or a Food Fair and bring your corporate team out to volunteer on distribution day! One-time or recurring opportunities are available.

Kids Café

The Food Bank’s Kids Café program distributes hot, nutritious meals to many children throughout the city who may not otherwise receive their third meal of the day. The Food Bank partners with afterschool programs, many of which also provide homework help. Each Kids Café location serves anywhere from 35 to 145 children a day. Sponsorships are available on a one-time, month-long or year-long basis. Sponsorship of a Kids Café location also includes the opportunity to visit the site for a special party.

Summer Food Service

When school is out, low-income children lose their access to daily school lunches and breakfasts. The Summer Food Service Program aims to fill this void. It provides nutritious meals and snacks to children during this time. Each location serves anywhere from 10 to 350 children each day. Sponsorships are available on a one-time, month-long or summer-long basis. Sponsorship of a Summer Food Service location also includes the opportunity to visit the site for a special party.

Project HOPE Underwriting

Project HOPE is a program that provides supplemental groceries to seniors in our community. Project HOPE boxes are distributed at senior centers through the Food Bank’s service area. Each box is filled with shelf-stable food items designed to supplement a senior’s monthly food needs. Sponsor a Project HOPE location on a one-time or recurring basis and bring your corporate team to the Food Bank to help build boxes.
